AEDC’s Position: In an August 26, 2026 announcement, AEDC stated that its available power dropped from about 641MW to 314MW due to transmission line trippings from the Shiroro Transmission Station starting August 25, leading to widespread load shedding across feeders, including Band A [cite: The dispute followed an AEDC public announcement dated August 26, 2026, in which the company said transmission constraints were affecting electricity supply to Abuja and parts of its franchise area., AEDC said the tripping of transmission lines supplying Abuja from the Shiroro Transmission Station since Tuesday, August 25, had “significantly reduced” the power available to it., According to the company, its allocation dropped from approximately 641 megawatts to 314 megawatts, substantially affecting its ability to supply electricity to customers., “As a result, load shedding is currently being implemented across several feeders, including Band A feeders, due to the reduced power available from the transmission network,” AEDC said.].
